TK/TD6908 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 So this wasnt a TOTALLY new experience, but it was new doing a trooper helmet. I make friday the 13th hockey masks and learned alot about weathering by making those. What do you guys think? I was trying to go for a light/medium weathered look closely resembling the infamous move along trooper. Lenses have been added since i took these pics. Im also going to thin out the ears a bit more Oh and incase anyone wants to know, i used a wash of acrylic paint, raw umber, and then another wash with raw umber and a touch of yellow ochre. Alot of brushing till it was almost dry and patting down with a crumpled paper towel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefhawk Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Great work troooper. Less is more with the weathering and some people can go over the top. The only thing i would suggest is to paint over the crew heads that hold the ears on. Again well done cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK/TD6908 Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 thanks Chefhawk! im actually goning to replace those screws all together cuz they are rounded head screws rather than flat. I will paint em though as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD-6958 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 i like it also, because it is not to much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK/TD6908 Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 ask and you shall recieve! The first 2 (parts 3 and 4)are ABS pulls off the original movie mold, which i got from Ken Tarallo, the original sculptor and special effects guy who did the originals. The third (part6)is a fiberglass pull i did myself. I pretty much larned alot of wethering techniques doing thses types of masks and i just carried what i learned over to the sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakengine Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Nice weathering. I prefer the less is more approach! I agree with what the others said about the mods. I'm also a Jason costumer. I have one of Ken's blanks too but I haven't painted it up yet. Too much sandy work to do! I also have a noface blank I worked up a couple of years ago and use for my FVJ costume.
